Cut price of stamps for all

i RECENTLY received from the 
Royal Mail a leaflet advising people who receive Pension Credit, Employment and 
Support Allowance or 
Incapacity Benefit that they can 
buy up to 36 stamps in either books of six or 12 at Christmas 2011 prices. The offer is 
between November 6 and Christmas Eve.

There is a form to fill in for 
those eligible to hand to the 
Post Office with proof of eligibility.

Surely a fair and easy was is to let everybody have stamps 
at 2011 prices from the Post Office? This will save a lot of paperwork and let people continue to send cards and letters to friends.

Conservatives’ par for course

From: Brian Sheridan, Redmires Road, Sheffield.

SURELY Edward White doesn’t begrudge me a clumsy shank at the American golfing fraternity (Yorkshire Post, October 11). Of course, the Ryder Cup has nothing to do with politics except, I would say, that it unites conservatives on both sides of the Atlantic.

Nor does he tell me anything about the history of the competition that I didn’t know already.

You see, I have become a world authority on golf. For my sins, just about all my drinking acquaintances either play or have played the game.

Lessons in debt

From: B Murray, Halifax Road, Sheffield.

I SINCERELY hope that all the new schools which the Government is planning to 
build are not constructed 
under the PFI scheme which 
has burdened many hospitals with debt.
